| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | MY THOUGHTS | Nine Words That Explain Mark Zuckerberg | | | Good morning. Mark Zuckerberg is in the middle of an extensive, coordinated PR campaign to rehabilitate his image and relationship with President Trump. His casual, three-hour talk with Joe Rogan over the weekend was another not-so-casual step in that process. | During the conversation, Zuckerberg covered a lot of ground: his supposed love for free speech, how Meta was pressured by the government to push for censorship, and how wrong the experts were during the pandemic. But one quick quote summed it all up: | "We try to have policies that reflect mainstream discourse." | If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that mob rule is dangerous. When things go south, the majority often walks blindly in lockstep. | A man who runs one of the world's most influential organizations based on the prevailing opinion of the day will not stand up when it matters most. And that's exactly why Zuckerberg didn't stand up in the first place. | |

| | | TODAY'S FEATURED STORY | Chinese-controlled TikTok is on the chopping block | | What's happening: At present, TikTok will be banned from US app stores or accessed on internet browsers on January 19. However, those who already have the app downloaded to their phone will still be allowed to use it. | Catch up: President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan law last year requiring ByteDance, TikTok's owner, to fully divest from the company. ByteDance challenged that law in court; while an appeals court upheld the law, the Supreme Court agreed to take up the case. | | Surprising help: TikTok is now being supported by President-elect Donald Trump, who asked the Supreme Court to temporarily halt the ban so that he could negotiate a compromise once in office. | Flashback: As president, Trump signed an executive order to force ByteDance to divest from TikTok, but Biden rescinded that order upon taking office. Now, both men have seemingly reversed their positions.
| Eager buyers: Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary said he has nearly gathered enough investors to buy TikTok from ByteDance. But O'Leary says he'd need Trump to help him finalize the sale — which would require the Supreme Court to pause the law before January 19. It would also need ByteDance to sign off. | Why it matters: TikTok is used by at least one-third of adults and over half of teens, which means banning it would eliminate a communications platform used by millions. It would also remove a powerful Chinese Communist tool: TikTok admitted to storing Americans' data in China, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle recognize the serious national security implications the app poses. | In the media | From the left: Slate argued that Donald Trump was "the only person who can save TikTok" and said there was no evidence that TikTok was a national security threat. Meanwhile, CNN reported that TikTok was trying to convince the Supreme Court that banning it would violate freedom of speech… | | 🔒 360 Media View: Members-Only | See how different media outlets across the spectrum are framing this story. | |
